Earlier this week, the family of America's Got Talent star Nightbirde confirmed that the singer had passed away at the age of 31.

The beloved singer-singwriter - real name Jane Marczewski - won the hearts of fans all over the world, when she appeared on the hit NBC reality show last year, where she performed her original song, 'It's Okay'.

During her first audition, she also revealed that she was battling cancer in her "lungs, spine, and liver" and had been told that she had a "two percent chance of survival".

After her cancer resurged in August of 2021, she was forced to pull out of the talent competition.

Now, her family has announced that Nightbirde passed away on February 19, telling NBC: "We, her family, are devastated by her passing and unimaginable loss."

Following the news of the singer's death, fans have flooded what has now become Nightbirde's final Instagram post with tributes.

In the post, Nightbirde opened up about how life had become "pretty brutal", but alongside the heartbreaking caption, she shared a selfie showing herself smiling and feeling "real".

She wrote:

"Honestly, things have been pretty brutal. But this is a photo of myself from last week where I felt pretty, and alive, and awake, and human, and real. I needed that. We’re all a little lost and it’s alright."

The post was originally shared to the platform on January 11, but many of Nightbirde's fans have shared touching tributes to the late singer.

Another added: "You were a true warrior with such a positive outlook on life."

"Rest In Peace beautiful soul! You’ve inspired so many and will continue to do so. You are loved," wrote fellow AGT competitors, The Clairvoyants.
